Derek,
What you are trying to do will actually be better accomplished by using the
replace function.
Replace(string, substring1, substring2 [, scope ])
<cfset outval = replace("#foo#", "#bar#", #bar#)>
Although if it were me, I would change the value in the database that you
want to be "bar" to be @@bar@@, making it unique, therefore your replace
will have more success, and less chance of replacing something you don't
want to.

Oh, and for information on tags, the livedocs are great, and yes, this list!
